Violent rioters throw fireworks at Trump supporters eating dinner after MAGA march
Police have arrested a suspect in connection with fireworks that went off at a D.C. restaurant, hitting Trump supporters after Saturday's "MAGA Million March," according to reports.
A video of the incident shows a large crowd descending on P.J. Clarke's restaurant just a few blocks away from the White House. Amid a heated confrontation between a small group of Trump supporters and a hostile crowd, someone sets off fireworks that explode on the patio.
Chaos ensues as parties on both sides scramble to leave the area before police arrive to separate them. Expletives can be heard flying left and right. It wasn't immediately clear whether anyone on the pro-Trump side was injured by the explosion.
On Sunday, police said they have arrested 26-year-old Javien Michael Dawson in connection with the fireworks, WRC-TV reported. He had been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
It was one of more than 20 arrests that have taken place in response to the violence that ensued hours after tens of thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington Saturday to echo the president's claims of voter fraud and urged him not to concede to President-elect Joe Biden.
The event descended into chaos after a few pro- and anti-Trump factions clashed with one another. Black-clad members of the group Refuse Fascism got into a shouting match with Trump supporters as speeches got underway. Punches were exchanged – with one Trump backer swinging a megaphone as a weapon — as heated rally goers pushed the counter-protesters away from their group and toward police officers trying to keep order.
Among those arrested, six were charged with weapons offenses – four of whom were carrying guns with a permit, and two who were charged with assaulting a police officer, the New York Post reported. Others were charged with assault, theft, or disorderly conduct.

after tens of thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington Saturday
Interesting.... I thought it's been estimated at over 2 million. That's a few more than "tens of thousands."

One look at the pictures and it's obviously more than 10's of thousands. Fox is still weak on their reporting. This culture is too deeply divided on the election issue.
